TODD WADEY...A BEACON FOR THE FUTURE


Former wild child Todd Wadey has put his hand up at Avoca Beach Rugby Club to be bar manager for 2013 season


Following in the footsteps of the legendary Col (The Turtle) Guiliani Wadey has already received ticks of approval from many members


Over the years many bar manager shave claimed to be able to turn water into wine but in Todd's case the water has been shown the door and replaced by cold beers , pies and bubbly for the ladies


With the help of his security chief Kiwi bro "H" Thursday nights will never be the same again


Promising more sickies on the coast then a Lebanese picnic day Wadey's aim is to fill the club coffers from increased sales of cold beers and ensure all members rock out of the place when Casey tells him to come home


Stay tuned for the "Beer Appreciation Nights" and other innovative social events including lectures on "How to live on your own" and "Selling houses that your wife half owns"

Wadey is also running Sunday counselling sessions for all Parramatta NRL supporters in the club house at 6.30pm followed by beers bbq and a dart competition with dartboards showing the 2013 EELS Team photo

Wadey had stated that he is not interested in President's Terry Sturgess's job but if the members wanted him he would make the best President the club has ever seen.

Although not entered in the Presidential race for 2014 Wadey's people have come up with some hard hitting & relevant election slogans if the members do want him in 2014

"Todd Wadey ....Buy the beer for the beer"

"Todd Wadey...A Beacon for the Future"

"Todd Wadey...Hops and yeast are good for you"

"Todd Wadey..."Where the sun never sets"

Cheers Boys

FIRST GRADE MATCH REPORT VS THE ENTRANCE @ THE SHARK POOL SATURDAY 27th APRIL 2013

A sunny day , a good crowd and the boys were ready to rock at the Shark Pool With new bar manager Todd Wadey stoking up the crowd an afternoon of running rugby beckoned Debutant David Riley received his first 1st grade jersey ………..a great effort and well deserved for another local junior In the hustle and bustle of the change room prior to the match Dave forgot to introduce himself to his o/s centre Dave Gee. Dave Gee scored 4 tries and whilst Dave Riley got over the white stripe he may have scored more on debut except the GMAN man did not know who the guy outside him was calling for the ball. The tries came quickly after the kick off but we could have led by more at half time except AJ looked like he could not kick a cat missing a number of easy chances In the second half Club Captain Brub ( fresh from an overnight French lesson ) showed he had a shank better than Ian Baker-Finch when he tried to convert a try but only got to knock out a couple of spectators standing way over next to the club house Finally someone remembered that Dave Riley was a competent goal kicker is his junior days and the next 3 tries were converted by Dave However in a fine welcome to first grade Oatie as the senior player demanded the ball after the last try was scored and duly converted putting the ball straight over the black dot thereby keeping his 100 % conversion record intact. A bemused Dave Riley found out the hard way that experience and age does count With 10 to go Coach Jenkins decided to rest 3 of the stars with Brub , Jimmy and Lloydy being replaced by Chad, Mitch and JD. Coach Jenkins was adamant that no amount of Facebook pressure from Mrs Davies caused him to replace Jimmy with JD. At the after match press conference Jenko pointed out that JD’s defensive record made his decision easy…go look at the stats was his parting remark to the pesky journalist from Hong Kong Controversy almost stopped the game late into the second half as the replacements were made when the ecumenical referee David Hall found that of the 3 cards given to him one had an 8 on it. His logic told him that the Sharks had made 8 replacements. Similar logic in the laws is drummed into all referees at birth. However the professional management team sorted out is confusion pointing him back to the kick off area for play to resume. To ensure this does not happen again management is toying with the idea of name tags for all players imprinted with their ARU registration number and a happy stamp placed on their forehead prior to taking the field. Stay tuned to this rather innovative and potentially controversial development Best & Fairest 3 Josh Meadham….once again a very strong game at tight head , making some great runs with the ball and holding his own in the scrums 2 Sean Thompson 1 Adrian Jones/ Dave Gee Players player Dave Gee Final score Avoca Sharks 77 ( 13 tries , 6 conversions) beat The Entrance 0 Next week it’s Woy Woy at Woy Woy See you there !
